AIKEN, S.C. – The women's golf team wrapped competition at the More Than Golf Invitational Sunday, wrapping the inaugural tournament in fourth place.

Sophie Thai jumped two spots in the overall standings with a 70 (-3) in the final round, bringing her tournament total to a 271 (-2), the only member of the Big Green to wrap the tournament under par.

She shot six birdies in round three, bringing her tournament total to 14.

Hope Hall was the second Big Green golfer on the leaderboard, finishing in eighth overall with a +3, her best performance of the season. Hall collected four birdies en route to a 77 (+4) in Round 3.

Olivia Cong rounded out the top-15 for Dartmouth, finishing Round 3 with a 78 (+5), bringing her tournament total to a 227 (+8). She added two birdies on the final day of competition.

Alissa Xu and Caroline Chung each shot a 79 (+6) on the final day of competition. Xu sunk three birdies on Sunday to finish the tournament with a +14 while Chung collected one birdie, wrapping the tournament with a +18.

Lauren Pham competed as an individual in the More Than Golf Invitational. She posted a 75 (+2) in the final round thanks to two birdies and an eagle, jumping five spots in the overall standings.

Carolyn A. Pelzel '54a Head Coach of Women's Golf Alex Kirk said it was a challenging day for his team but overall, is happy with their performance.

"I think we got off to a slow start and were a little tight in the beginning. The wind picked up and we battled hard through the round. It was a good opportunity to learn how to close out a tournament," Kirk said. "I'm pleased with our performance and proud that we had the opportunity to play in a strong field of conference champions at an amazing golf course at Old Barnwell."

The three-day tournament in South Carolina wraps Dartmouth's Spring Trip, "a great blend of training, qualifying, competing and team bonding," Kirk said.

The Big Green will now shift their focus to the final three tournaments of the year, the Rutgers Invitational on April 5 and 6, the Navy Invite on April 12 and 13, and the Ivy League Championships from April 18-20.

"We have the talent and compete, we just need to work on our pre shot process and decision making," Kirk said.
